(A lot of you have missed the notification for one of the chapters! If you haven't read chapter 17, it is up for you guys to ready. Sorry for the inconvenience<3)

🦋Whenever you feel weak, remember the things that made you strong; whenever you start to doubt yourself, remember those who believe in you. 🦋

It was January 25. Another Tuesday in the first of the month. This month was ending, you didn't know to be relieved or to be neutral. A step closer to more bearable weather. But then again you somewhat live the cold.

In a way, it felt comforting.

But you were yet again at work. Sitting in the meeting room along with your other coworkers. Everyone was surrounded at the long black smooth-surfaced table that was placed in the middle of the room.

You on the right side of the table and were placed between Krone and Norman. The taller woman at your left and the snowed white-haired man was at your right.

You could smell both of their fragrance. Krone smelled like honey and a hint of mint. You're not surprised because inside of her purse she always carries hard candy and gum. And she was currently sucking on a peppermint hard candy. She kindly offered you some earlier when she was searching from some in her dark brown purse, but you turned her down kindly.

And Norman. He smelled like a foreign cologne that you have never come a crossed before. It wasn't strong but it was present, it wasn't intense but it was soothing. It was most likely an expensive named brand cologne that he purchased from somewhere.

Your attention is removed from the two beside you as you silently examine the room. Your eyes land on Ray.

You lightly bit on your bottom lip in unintentionally as you took in his appearance. You bit on the peeling skin and pulled it back with your teeth making you wince quietly. You sucked in your lip and sucked on the small draw blood.

Honestly, you weren't paying too much attention to what was being discussed in the intense room.

The only thing you could focus on, well, person, was the right in front of you. At the head of the table, not too far away from you.

You were focused on him.

White button-up long-sleeved shirt, that was tucked into black cotton- well-ironed pants. And he had black names brand loafers on his feet.

He was just so handsome.

His honey tan skin was glowing from the sun that was beaming behind him, making him look more enthralling. His dark black hair seemed to grow longer as well, which was why he had his hair into a short loose pointy tail. A little bit of his hair in the front still hanging over his eye. It wasn't too much of hair growth, but it was still apparent.

You haven't spoken to him yet, and you were looking forward to it. You didn't want to be too pushy or to seem that you're forcing yourself into him so you wanted to keep your distance. After all, you wouldn't want anyone to do that to you because you would've got easily annoyed.

That one-night stand kept popping up into your mind though. You remember it as if it was last night. As much as the pleasure of it all was good- it made you slightly uncomfortable just by thinking about it. How you easily just gave yourself up to him. It wasn't as if you were a newbie when it came to intimacy, but it still left a sick feeling in your stomach.

Did you have no shame?

Why were you so willing to do it?

You felt disgusted with yourself that you were willing to do it without even thinking twice. Just like he said that day when you were in his office, you didn't know him personally. You only knew him as your boss who you've worked for- for a while now.
